{I just went back, to Leftovers, blog...Michael just put part of his collection of Stapled Plates...from the late 1700's...and early 1800's...He was so kind, and gave one to me, from his collection, when he came up, for a visit, a few weeks ago.... It is one of my Most Favorite Treasures.......{a bit scary, tho...when Liz saw it.... she wanted to make sure...that when I die... it goes to her....oh dear...hope she doesn't get too impatient...} Michael wrote about the process, it took, to repair these plates, back in the day... AMAZING....{check it out!}
I had to put an image of my 'Patched' dinning table.... {only me and Harold could Love}....I bought it from Harold....many years ago, at The What Cheer Flea Market... Harold is gone... but...I see him, often, when I look at the Mid 1800's Strapped...Patched...Walnut...Work Horse....There is just something...about a Well Loved...Lovingly...Repaired...Piece...
Oh yeah....it's the 'Soul' factor...
Love to ya...
